Streamer fishing can be the most exciting type of fly fishing on the Arkansas. It's a good way to target those big Browns that hold so tight to cover. I can't describe the rush that comes over me when a fish comes out of its hiding spot to chase down a big un weighted streamer. This fish was taken on a hard to reach stretch of the Arkansas. He cruised out of a large boulder at the bottom of a rapid and took the fly on the first shot into the rock. Of course I missed him the first time but some of these fish just couldn't let that fly go and on the second cast he nailed it again. What ever season this is, the fishing is just fine with me.
